Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

2 chicken breasts
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 tbsp olive oil

For the Broth and Noodles:

3 garlic cloves, minced
8 sun-dried tomatoes, sliced
1/2 tbsp smoked paprika
1/2 tbsp dried oregano
1/2 tbsp red chili flakes
2 1/2 cups chicken stock (divided into 1 1/4 cups + 1 1/4 cups)
1 1/4 cups single cream
2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese (plus more for serving)
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp flaky salt
1/2 tsp sugar
7 oz ramen noodles

For the Toppings:

fresh cilantro
bean sprouts
edamame beans
scallions
chili oil

Instructions

Prepare Chicken: Pour the all-purpose flour onto a plate and thoroughly coat both chicken breasts. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat, then fry the floured chicken breasts for about 4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
Make Sauce Base: In the same saucepan, add minced garlic, sliced sun-dried tomatoes, smoked paprika, red chili flakes, and dried oregano. Fry for 2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in 1 1/4 cups (300ml) chicken stock and all of the single cream. Mix well and grate in 2 tablespoons of parmesan cheese for richness.
Cook Chicken in Sauce: Return the seared chicken breasts to the saucepan with the sauce. Cover with a lid and let cook gently for 5 minutes. Remove chicken and allow to cool slightly before slicing.
Season Broth and Cook Noodles: Season the broth with flaky salt, freshly ground black pepper, and sugar. Adjust seasoning to taste. Add remaining 1 1/4 cups chicken stock and the ramen noodles. Cook noodles according to package instructions, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Assemble and Garnish: Divide the broth and noodles into two bowls. Top with sliced chicken. Garnish with fresh cilantro, bean sprouts, edamame beans, scallions, chili oil, and extra grated parmesan if desired. Drizzle chili oil to add a flavorful kick.

Notes

Ensure the chicken is lightly but evenly coated with flour for a nice golden crust.
Adjust the amount of chili flakes and chili oil based on your preferred spice level.
Single cream adds richness; substitute with heavy cream if unavailable.
Serve immediately for best texture of noodles and freshness of toppings.
Leftover broth can be refrigerated and used within 2 days.
